THIS WEEKEND AND UPLOAD YOUR SNAPSHOTS TO U LOCAL ON WTAE.COM. NOW OUR FIRST LOOK AT 5:30 AT THE LATROBE COUPLE ACCUSED OF PUFTING OF THEIR 3-YEAR-OLD SON IN THE TRUNK OF THEIR CAR. TODAY, DANIELLE AND JEFFREY LENHART WERE IN COURT TO FACE CHARGES. CHANNEL 4 "ACTION NEWS" REPORTER MARCIE CIPRIANI WITH WHY THEY SAY THEY WOULD FORCE THEIR OWN CHILD INTO DARKNESS. Reporter: INSIDE THE COURTROOM, A DEAL WAS REACHED. THE DETAILS OF THAT DEAL AREN'T BEING RELEASED, BUT WE DID HAVE OUR FIRST CHANCE TO SEE THE COUPLE WHO POLICE SAY WAS TAKING THEIR CHILD HERE TO IDLEWILD, BUT INSTEAD, ON THE WAY ACTUALLY PLACED THE 3-YEAR-OLD IN THE TRUNK OF THE CAR TO TEACH HIM A LESSON. THIS IS DANIELLE AND JEFFREY LENHART, THE PARENTS WHO POLICE SAY PLAYED A TERRIFYING GAME ON THE ROAD WITH THEIR LITTLE BOY. I THINK IT'S CRUEL. I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY WAY THAT YOU WOULD CALL IT PARENTING. Reporter: THIS MAN KNOWS THE COUPLE BUT ASKS NOT TO BE IDENTIFIED. BUT POLICE SAY THE COUPLE DID CONSIDER WHAT THEY DID PARENTING. INVESTIGATORS SAY THE LENHARTS TOLD THEM THEY WERE TEACHING THE LITTLE BOY NOT TO BE AFRAID OF THE DARK, AND TO DO THAT, THEY STOPPED ALONG THE ROAD TO IDLEWILD ON THREE SEPARATE TRIPS AND TOLD THEIR SON THEY WERE GOING TO PLAY A GAME. POLICE SAY THEY HANDED THE BOY A FLASHLIGHT AND TOLD HIM TO LOOK FOR CANDY IN THE TRUNK OF THE CAR WHILE THEY DROVE TO THE AMUSEMENT PARK. HOW COULD YOU EVER DO THAT TO A CHILD? WE'RE ALL AFRAID OF THE DARK. YOU DON'T LOCK SOMEONE IN A TRUNK, YOU KNOW? MAYBE YOU TAKE AWAY THE NIGHT LIGHT AFTER A COUPLE YEARS, BUT YOU DON'T LOCK HIM IN THE TRUNK! Reporter: JEREMY LENHART'S ATTORNEY WOULDN'T TALK ABOUT THE CASE AT ALL, BUT DANIELLE LENHART'S ATTORNEY SAYS SHE HAS ACCEPTED WHAT SHE DID WAS WRONG. SHE UNDERSTANDS THAT IT WAS A MISTAKE, AND YOU KNOW, SHE'S MOVING FORWARD WITH IT. SHE'S FACING THE CONSEQUENCES. Reporter: SO, SHE WASN'T DOING IT TO BE CRUEL? NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Reporter: DANIELLE LENHART'S ATTORNEY WOULD ONLY ADD THAT SHE AGREED TO PROBATION FOR HER ROLE IN REPEATEDLY FORCING HER 3-YEAR-OLD INTO THE TRUNK OF A CAR. ALTHOUGH DANIELLE LENHART'S ATTORNEY WOULDN'T RELEASE THE SPECIFICS OF HER AGREEMENT, HE
